The roads.
They are, quite simply, amazing. And the traffic, too, has improved. I'm not saying that there aren't snarls, or jams, or suchlike - but then, a day in the life of a metropolis (and the national capital at that), isn't quite complete without a few traffic holdups.
But when seen through the eyes of an ex-Delhiite like me - who moved to Bangalore 6 years ago, after having grown up seeing dug-up roads, ditches, potholes, pollution, et al - the new-look city is quite stunning. We've moved to Patparganj (after having lived in C.R. Park for more 'n a decade), but the drive home all the way from Dhaula Kuan to Patparganj across the river, was a matter of minutes !
(And then there's the Metro too...quietly working its busy way through the heart of the ever-burgeoning human mass that's Delhi, and growing as well. Got to know that the third corridor has been launched, and it certainly is an engineering and administrative marvel to have actually brought this project to see light of day.)
Sigh.......am back in B'lore, with the working day drawing to a close, and (not) looking forward to driving back home - a distance of 4 kms covered by car in never-less-than 15 minutes, and accompanied by the usual chaos of jams, potholes and a general feeling of despondency for B'lore's crumbling infrastructure.
Grrr.......
